About The Artist

The Swell Season, the Oscar-winning duo of Frames frontman Glen Hansard and Czech ingenue Marketa Irglova, have released Strict Joy, the follow-up to their beloved, surprise hit 2007 film and gold-certified soundtrack Once. The twelve new, original songs on Strict Joy were recorded in 2008 and document a time of great change and tumult.
